    Dear Sir,

    Kindly explain how does the marking scheme actually work? I mean how many marks are per point made?

    While attempting Specimen 1, I realized that there is actually one mark per point. Where as, in September and December attempt there are 2 marks per point made.

    It has left me confused on how many points should I actually write.

    Please reply as your earliest convenience sir as there are only a few days left in exam.

    Regards

    When you are doing the exam, you will not know whether there are 1, 1.5 or 2 marks per point.

    Your answers should be governed by the time available as implied by the marks. Your task is to write the best-explained most comprehensive and professional answer you can. At work, if writing to a client or partner you do not count marks: you provide the best you can.

    So here, be governed by time and professionalism rather than counting up how many points you make.
